fe550

Last weekend took my Berg from 1000 feet to 7500, I only changed the MJ from 188 stock -> 178, seemed to do the trick .... it ran awesome, no backfire, good power range ... Question I have is , how do I get at the needle clip on the FCR carb? After I remove the top of the FCR carburetor...

Hey ya'll, I seriously looking into a FE550 and I found a dealer nearby with 2 leftover new 2006 FE550's. What kinda price should I be expecting to pay? I found another dealer willing to sell a 07 fe550 for $9450+fees (canadian monies, of course, I think these days thats about $8600usd.)...

I've been keeping an eye on these bergs for some time, but I bought a new Husky TC450 earlier this year because of the price and great reviews, but I still feel the FE550 is better suited for my type riding and I wouldn't mind having one in the future. I've read of one or two more recent...

I did only 30 km with my 06 FE550, but I think it is a high fuel consumption in comparison with my 501. (501:FCR40 from Yamaha, 168 MJ, Yamaha Needle) (550: 182 MJ in series) The PJ seems to rich too. What can be recommended (by the 550er owner)?

Last weekend I delivered a 2007 FE550 to a CDN Magazine that was not doing a shootout, but a real world comparo between a KLX450, WR450, CRF450X, 525EXC and a FE550. I was going to take a 450, but it was sold a few days earlier. After 400kms of trail riding, the magazine guys were blown away...

Can any body tell me if the down tube on the frame shoud be straight, on the FE550 (04) that I have bought the down tube apears to be slightly bent in an out would direction in turn the back of the front mudguard is rubbing on the down tube. Allso the collector exhuast box is rubbing on the top...

took the FE500 out for its maiden voyge today. WOW, never tried one before, bouhgt it "blind" just from reading test, boy the tests ( and Heimir Lopi) are telling the truth. this is a increadible machine. I think i am going to have fun on this bike, a big step from my 1999 FE 400

Hi there, I just installed a pair of supermoto wheels on my new '06 Fe550 and I only now realized that the odometer doesn't read accurate now with the new set of wheels (17' vs 21'). I browsed the user manual but couldn't find anything on changing the size of the wheels. So, can it be...

So am I just asking for headaches & maintenance? I'm presently on a DRZ400E, but it's heavy, needs more power and the 5spd leaves me wanting (another spd so I can gear it for the dirt, and still do H-way speeds). But it is low maintenance, and durable. The Husabergs on the other hand are...

I always adjust the valve clearence on my '94 fc600 to 0.10mm, but the manual for my '06 fe550 says 0.12mm. What's up?, maybe I'll just go 1/8 out, but I like to do both to be sure. :)

So, I am new to the husaberg scene, but I have to tell you I am loving it.Three of us friends went together and bought the 06 line of fe's(450, 550, 650). I got the 450 and have found a major power difference between mine and the other two. In the woods it is all the power I need, however on the...

I'm ready to retire my fc600 for a new left over '06 fe550 and wanted some feed back on what you guy's think of yours. :)

Owner of a fe550 2005 from new. The bike is great when its going. :( My first engine failure happened with a starter clutch failure at 12 weeks old. My mate purchased a fe550 at the same time and had main engine bearing fail in the first 4 weeks from new. Now my bike is sitting at the...

so this brake only has 1 cotter pin, and appears to have 1 allen screw looking thing on the left side holding the pin in. naturally it's extremely flimsy and stripped out instantly when i tried to get wrench on it and turn it. before i completely ruin my entire rear brake caliper, can someone...

Hi guys, I have an 04 fe550 45hrs on it, last 4 hours of riding has slowly developed engine noise,just inspected top end and all is like new.Found auto deccompresion shaft and counter weight to have a reasonable amount of movement and play in it, dont think that is causing noise, is...

Does the ktm exc or lc4 sprocket fit these bikes(front and rear). Is the front sprocket the same on 1998 and 2004 Husaberg.

Does the FC make more power than the FE because of pipe,cams,ignition and so on? It seems to have about the same power as a new 450 on a long fast start but with more tourq along the way. I have not beat a new 450 to the first turn at Honey lake on the 550,but did so many times on my 04-525...

I'm not expecting an overwhelming response here but thought I would throw it out there. I sold my 520 a few months ago and plan to purchase a new bike around the August time frame. My dilemna is that I would like to purchase the FE550 but need to take it for a test ride prior to committing the...

so, i got a .44 and .46 spring for the forks, making a .45-ish spring rate since the .42 stockers were riding too low in the travel. the new springs were a few mm longer, so i left out the 2 thin preload spacers on each leg and just kept the thicker one. i went 2 stiffer on rebound damping and 1...

so, i've had my shiny new fe550 for almost 6 weeks, and due to the snowy winter and lots of skiing, i only have 30 hrs (close to 600 miles) in that time. i just did the 2nd valve check. one of the exhausts had moved about 1/12 of a screw turn (or else i left tht one adjusted a little tight last...
